Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

"Your frankness makes me a little disappointed," she sighed.

"I call this emergency avoidance."

"Alright, I've granted you administrator privileges for the battlefields of the past. Go find my old comrades~" Alicia thought for a moment.

"Here's a parting reminder: finding them is more difficult than gaining their approval."

"Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am~"

After saying that, she vanished in a flash, whether she started a new game or was secretly observing Chen Jie from somewhere else, no one knows.

Chen Jie felt this way.

"Finding someone? That's easy! Just use my Anywhere Door!"

Ability activation failed!

After several more attempts, the door still could not be opened.

I sensed the flow of space and Honkai energy... It's a bit like the mimicry of divine grace barrier that Otto used when I fought him before!

There is some kind of power that prevents Chen Jie from using the spatial portal to jump.

Fortunately, Alicia had previously granted her Paradise Administrator privileges... and she began her journey to find the heroes.

And so, they got off to a great start.

One of them didn't hide at all; he was sitting upright in a seat in the main hall where the battlefield of the past began.

"Kevin?"

“Herrscher, my condition is that you send my physical body out of the Sea of ​​Quanta.”

"Farewell!"

……

Chapter 96 Padofelis: I wanted to... but the boss gave me way too much money.

“Wait, I think you might have some prejudice or misunderstanding about me!” Kevin raised his hand.

However, Chen Jie didn't give him any time to explain; he simply used his privileges and ran away.

Continue on the journey to find the heroes.

After perhaps tens of thousands of years of development, the training programs in the entire ancient battlefield are extremely numerous.

The Horizon Lunar Base map that Alicia took her to play before was just one of the more popular maps. Besides that, there are many other gameplay modes, such as 1v1 ranked battles, skill training, dodging training, mech piloting, and so on...

In a cooking training program, Chen Jie found Sakura, who was disguised as an NPC.

"I can entrust my imprint to you, as long as you can make a dish that satisfies me."

Chen Jie started cooking.

Her cooking skills... can only be described as being able to cook chopped vegetables by simply tossing them in a hot pan.

This naturally could not gain Sakura's approval.

Sakura dared to teach the Herrscher of Food, resulting in one of Mei's most famous scenes in Paradise: "You want to teach me how to cook?", which confirms that she has a high level of skill in cooking.

"I'll go talk to some other heroes first..." Chen Jie sighed.

"Yes, I've always been here."

……

Chen Jie found Eden, who was ranked fourth, and Ying Jie, who held the "golden" seal—in a wine cellar.

"You seem a little curious about why I, a memory entity that doesn't need to eat, am drinking alcohol." She swirled the golden cup in her hand.

"In fact, among the many functions of food, satisfying one’s appetite is only a very minor one."

"Eating and drinking remind me of what it felt like to be human, while old songs remind me of a bygone era."

"You want my mark?"

Chen Jie nodded: "Mm."

"Then let's sing."

"Use your throat, your body and mind, your memory, your soul, and everything else to create a symphony!"

"what……"

Sister, are you drunk?

Her face was flushed, her eyes unfocused, her fingers tracing the curves of Biola's body, her slightly tipsy breath brushing against her face:

"I will read your determination through your singing, and then decide whether to imprint it on you."

Who can withstand this? I'm outta here!

“In that case, Senior Eden, I will go find other heroes first, and then come to see you later.”

……

Continue to wander the battlefields of the past.

It can be seen that the number of survivors in the memory, and even beyond the memory, is still quite large, with tens of thousands of matches in progress.

Suddenly, Chen Jie noticed a cat emblem flashing at the shop during a certain match.

"Boss, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Padoflis, the cutest kitten in all of Paradise, used to roam around various matches, acting as a shopkeeper.

She handed Chen Jie a shiny badge.

[You have obtained the mark of the Empty Dream]

"You gave it to me so easily..."

Happiness came so suddenly that it was hard to tell if it was real or not.

"Isn't there any test required?"

It's like those pictures you often see online that say you'll get tens of thousands of yuan just for rolling around in mud a few times. Then someone will reply, "Do you want to eat some mud? Otherwise, you won't feel at ease taking the money."

“My test is to have a lot of money, but you’ve already prepaid me, boss.”

"Let me give you another message, boss."

"For some reasons I can't tell you right now, the other heroes seem to be planning to team up and play a trick on you." Pado rubbed her hands together. Actually, she wanted to as well, but unfortunately, the boss had given her too much.

Chen Jie nodded: "I felt it."

“By the way, you should go find Brother Qianjie. He’s a pretty straightforward guy. You just need to fight him. Also… you could go check out that horrible woman, Mebius,” Pado suggested.

Thanks.

"Just don't tell anyone that I told you!" Pado got a little scared and disappeared, disappearing to some unknown store.

……

With a clear target in mind, Chen Jie began his targeted search.

Qian Jie, ranked sixth, is a hero who holds the "Destruction" mark. The ranking of heroes has never been a representation of strength. In terms of destructive power alone, he is the second most terrifying and powerful being after Kevin.

Even before joining the Firemoth, she was able to fight to a draw with Sakura, who was a Fusion Warrior.

After undergoing the super-transformation surgery, he could even easily crush the Key of Domination. He destroyed more than a hundred of them by himself. Afterwards, Mei ordered that Qianjie be strictly forbidden from touching any of the Keys of God in any form.

Chen Jie felt that if the opponent had a weapon that suited him, he would definitely be even stronger.

His genetic blueprint is the Emperor-class Honkai Beast "Feitian," and he excels in fire abilities, seemingly possessing a characteristic that makes him stronger the angrier he gets.

His words must have come from a scorching hot place.

Mebius, ranked tenth, holds the "Infinity" mark. A renowned scholar from the continent of Mu, Mebius's introducer, and the oldest aunt among the heroes (the last sentence is crossed out).

The researcher, who claimed to be bad at combat, actually kept researching the boundaries of fusion warrior abilities until he crossed the taboo known as "artificial collapse".

He's actually quite good at fighting.

Based on her habits, she should be in some gloomy research facility.

However, one shouldn't be too superstitious about those past memories in one's mind; who knows how the plot might have been changed?

But apart from that, there are no other clues, so we can only focus our efforts on these areas first...

Before long, she found a battlefield filled with the heat of the day.

"That place is..."

The arena for individual ranking matches!

She tried to use her privileges to enter, but found that she didn't have enough privileges to directly challenge the top spot.

Fortunately, improving your ranking isn't difficult. You always aim for the highest rank you can challenge, and you only need to win seven consecutive matches to be able to fight the number one player.

Select and start playing ranked matches.

"Oh, a young girl, and it's an armored model I've never seen before." The other person was a soldier whose name I didn't even know.

Chen Jie defeated him in one move and then started the next match.

The winning streak wasn't difficult; the only time-consuming part was that some players were engaged in other training and had to wait a while before they could compete.

She didn't waste this time; she could search for Mebius and other places that might be Thousand Calamities.

Finally, the final battle was completed, and the qualification to challenge for first place was earned.

The opponent accepted the challenge.

Upon entering, a wave of scorching heat hit us, lava flowed from the cracks in the ground, and thick smoke and ash were everywhere.

"Herrscher!!"

Hearing the roar of the sign, Chen Jie knew he had come to the right place.

"Are you targeting me?!"

"I'll show you what a foolish choice this is! Come, fight me to the death!!"

[The host, Qianjie, has modified the battle rules. Each player will have three resurrection opportunities. The first player to run out of resurrection opportunities will be considered the loser.]

[Do you agree to the rule changes and begin the battle?]

"Yes!"

……

Chapter 97 The Destroying Mark, the Invaded Battlefield?

Qianjie stomped his foot hard, and the ground cracked open, like a volcanic eruption, with scorching magma gushing into the sky, gradually cooling and solidifying into giant rocks.

Under his control, these boulders hurtled towards Biora like hundreds of fiery meteors.

Chen Jie controlled the Star Armor to take shape, forming a giant lance nearly a hundred meters long in her hand. Because of its long radius, she only needed to wave her hand lightly at the origin point, and the lance tip in the distance would move rapidly, accurately shattering the incoming meteorites one by one.

At first, she planned to keep her abilities to herself. Since they both had three lives, Chen Jie decided not to use his spatial abilities for the time being, but to wait for Yin Qianjie to make a move at the crucial moment.

Qianjie himself flew in along with the fire meteor. Looking at the incoming spear tip, he neither dodged nor avoided it. Flames erupted all over his body, and he forcefully shattered the huge illusion spear forged by the star armor.

"Herrscher! Your flames are too gentle; I can't feel your anger!"

Chen Jie dodged his falling blow, followed by a series of close-quarters attacks and defenses. Inheriting Biola's memories, Chen Jie's marksmanship was methodical, while Qian Jie had no moves at all; he could use his fists, feet, body, and even headbutts as weapons.

The reason the Illusion Spear was shattered earlier was because it was too large, which reduced its defensive power. When it entered close combat, the Star Armor returned to its body, and even Thousand Tribulations' attack could not shatter it.

"Not enough! Far from enough! You're not even good enough to warm me up!!"

He slammed his fist into the ground, and the powerful, ring-shaped wave of fire knocked Chen Jie back.

"Watch me smash your turtle shell!"

Chen Jie sheathed his lance and transformed his star armor into dozens of wall-like tower shields. He appeared very chivalrous, not interrupting Qian Jie's charge-up, and prepared to take the attack head-on.

In reality, taking advantage of the star energy fluctuations and the tower's massive size as cover, they opened a spatial portal behind the first shield, hehehe...

Qianjie's figure was no longer visible; the flames surrounding him coalesced into a ferocious beast gathering power.

next moment!

Like an arrow released from a bow, the raging beast roared as it attacked the defensive line constructed by Chen Jie, causing the entire battlefield to tremble. The first layer of the tower shield shattered instantly.

Something's not right! Even the reckless Qian Jie realized something was wrong. The massive phantom spear from before wasn't this fragile. It didn't seem like he had shattered it; it was more like the opponent had deliberately broken it...
